Forum Migration: Separate volumes

Separate publications, not published within the Forum Migration series

This publication was compiled on the occasion of the 60th birthday of the director of the efms, Prof. Dr. Friedrich Heckmann. Based on the experiences they have made so far, 31 renowned authors, all experts in migration and integration issues, contributed articles dealing with the wide range of aspects with respect to a question that had been raised by Prof. Heckmann already twenty years ago: "Germany - A country of immigration?"

The volume is a summary of the habilitation thesis of Dr. Thomas Müller-Schneider which was compiled in cooperation with the efms. It provides an overview of existing approaches to explain migration and presents a new approach to the interested public and people dealing with migration issues.
